World Sword Swallowers Day
February 26

When: Last Saturday in February |
Where: 🌐 Everywhere |
First occurrence: 2008 |
World Sword Swallow Day has been organized by the Sword Swallowers Association International since 2008 to celebrate the ancient art of sticking a sharp blade down the throat, and then removing it again, without getting hurt in the process so it can be repeated again later on. |

![]() The oldest mentions found of sword swallowers are of performers in India at least several millennia BC. Just like in the present times, these performances were typically done as a proof of profound spirituality or extreme self discipline. ⚔️🥄 The sword used is generally not sharpened. Sword swallowing is a dangerous skill. |
